To help our members advertise their RPs and other activities the SDRP will be sending out guild wide announcements at member request. Please read this thread thoroughly before requesting an announcement. You will find the procedure and guidelines for setting up an announcement below.
Announcement Procedure:
If you want to send an announcement through the SDRP you need to follow these steps to request it:
Make a thread in this subforum to specify the nature of your announcement. Please also specify your target date for the release of your announcement and your announcement's subject line in this post.
Write your announcement in the next post within your thread. Keep in mind announcements are limited to 1500 characters.
Format and proofread your announcement to make sure it looks nice. Request graphics help if needed.
Once you are ready for Final Review, quote the CAPTAIN (School of Dedicated RPers) to let us know we should look at it.
Vice Captains will go over the announcement and make the final decision to accept or reject it.
Your announcement is not accepted/rejected until the CAPTAIN (School of Dedicated RPers) has posted an Official Response.
If your announcement is rejected the VCs will give you reasons which you can try to address then re-submit.
If your announcement is accepted the VCs will send it out on the agreed date.
Note: VCs may make edits to your announcement for formatting, length, or grammatical reasons. They will post a revision for you to approve before sending.
Also Note: It costs about 4k to send an announcement to the SDRP. If guild funds are low you may be asked to pay for it.
Other Guidelines:
- We will only send announcements for RPs and activities hosted within the SDRP guild. Exceptions may be made on a case by case basis for affiliate guilds.
We will only send ONE announcement per WEEK. Check the schedule below to find an open week.
Allow at least 5 days for your announcement to be sent. These things take time.
Gaia automatically centers announcements for you so you generally don't have to add the [align=center][/align] or [center][/center] tags. You will have to manually align it left if you don't want it centered.
Here's the guild banner if you want to include it:

Keep in mind the five Ws and one H:
- What is the event? What do people have to do?
Where is it? (provide links)
Who is running it? Who can participate? (members, friends of members, etc.) Who gets perks?
When is it running? When is it over?
Why should people participate? Why is this event being run?
How do people sign up? How do they participate?
List of dates and announcements that are reserved for them:
We will try to get the announcements out on the dates you request but please note that due to logistics and our own schedules, we might not be able to be completely precise. Please allow at least a 5 day lead time to send announcements.
